Disruptions, offensive language, personal attacks and hostile conduct will not be tolerated.
Discussion:
Steve Bremer, a lifelong resident of Arlington, asked the board to name the baseball field "Paul Menkin field". He feels Paul is a big part of why we have that field today.
Bruce and Janet Johnson want to be more informed of our educational system, so they are here to listen and get to know the board members a little better. They also spoke in opposition to the first draft of the NDE health standards. |
